PLEASE NOTE: When purchasing militaria and other items within the United States I sometimes find items of "uncertain" manufacture, reproductions and fantasy items mixed in with authentic pre-May 8, 1945 Nazi relics or pre-September 2, 1945 Japanese relics. You should assume that all items listed on my website under the "MY MILITARIA MISTAKE?” heading are high quality reproductions. However, sometimes the item might be original or might be a partial reproduction using some original parts, or it might be a "fantasy" item never actually produced during the appropriate historical time period.

Embroidered Japanese Battle Flag Patch Strips

Embroidered Japanese Battle Flag Patch Strips. Many years ago I purchased a roll of these embroidered patches featuring the WWII Japanese battle flag hoping that the patches were original WWII vintage. I have heard that during WWII U.S. pilots would sew such patches onto their flight jackets whenever they downed a Japanese airplane in aerial combat. However, I now have doubts that these patches are original WWII vintage. Thus, I'm selling these patches as post-war reproductions. Each single flag patch measures about 1 1/4" high by 2 1/2" wide. The patches are being sold from my roll in strips of three flag patch. Item #1728
